I only have/heard E2C, so I cant really comment much on the "Shure house sound".
For one thing though, I think they are both very forgiving and euphonic, somewhat bass heavy with midbass bloat.

There are people who swear by CD3000s, and my PPX3 is supposed to be a very good match for them. Yet I found them unbearable without heavy eqing, different strokes for different folks. My next experiment in the search for the ideal headphone (within the afforadable price range, that is) will be the highly praised AKG K701, 3 weeks and still patiently waiting
